Cutback Bitumen RC-800
Cutback Bitumen RC-800 Description
Cutback Bitumen RC-800 is Rapid curing (RC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of rapid volatility.
Our Cutback Bitumen RC-800 complies with cutback petroleum asphalts of the rapid-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements.
Cutback bitumen RC800 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of Naphtha. Petroleum solvents such as naphtha, kerosene, etc. are cutback agents which can reduce the viscosity of the bitumen. As well as improving the ability to coat aggregates.
Cutback Bitumen RC-800 is a rapid curing cutback bitumen that contains 75% bitumen, is black in color, and is manufactured strictly as per ASTM D 2028M standard. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for ease of handling and application. After application, the diluent evaporates, leaving asphalt cement to perform its function. RC–800 bitumen viscosity is between 800-1600 CST.
Cutback Bitumen RC-800 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of gasoline. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen.
gasoline or naphtha is used as the solvent in order to manufacture rapid curing bitumen cutback. RC-800 is one of the examples of a rapid curing cutback bitumen. The typical amount of solvent or distillate in a cutback bitumen is from 12% to 40%. Naphtha is used as a bitumen cutback agent at different concentrations according to local conditions and requirements.
The reduction in viscosity of the bitumen aids the construction of seal coats in road pavements as the softened mixture wets the chips more easily. The cutback agent evaporates from the seal coat, the cutback agent becoming a negligible component of the seal coat a few months after application. If significant amounts of the cutback agent remain in the seal coat an unwanted long term softening effect may result. Also, Cutback asphalt is an asphalt cement that has a solvent or distillate such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or naphtha added to make the asphalt liquid at ambient temperatures and improve its ability to coat aggregates.
Cut back bitumen are easy to use because it is cold applied. Cut back grade bitumen is normally used in spraying. The main applications of RC-800 are in road pavement, tack coat, and prime coat.
CutBack Bitumen RC-800 Applications
Cutback agents are used to lowering the viscosity of bitumen when it is applied as a primer to the surface of a road pavement aggregate base course or substrate. Kerosene is used as a bitumen cutback agent at different concentrations according to local conditions and requirements.
The cutback bitumen is ideal for prime coat and cold applied because of easy uses and no need for thinning and heating.
Cutback bitumen RC-800 consists of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction.
The cutback asphalt RC800 applying to waterproof of surfaces plug capillary voids, coat, and bond loose mineral particles.
Also, It uses in Priming of all non-bituminous road buses, provision of temporary surfaces(deviations).
This kind of bitumen is suitable to be used in the construction and treatment of pavements as per ASTM D2028-97 reapproved in 2004. Cutback Grade Bitumen is normally used in spraying and in some mixing applications. Current common uses are in penetrating prime coats and in producing patching or stockpile mixtures. Cutback asphalt used in mixing with aggregate will usually contain an adhesion agent to assist in the coating of the aggregate surface. RC800 is used for pavement base and surfaces with dense-graded aggregate also for patching.

Cutback Bitumen RC-250
Cutback Bitumen RC-250 Description
Cutback Bitumen RC-250 complies with cutback petroleum asphalts of the rapid-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements as per ASTM D2028-97 reapproved in 2004. Cutback Grade Bitumen is normally used in spraying and in some mixing applications. Cutback Bitumen is penetration grade bitumen blended with a solvent such as kerosene, white spirit, gasoline, and naphtha, controlling the curing time. Cut back petroleum asphalts of the rapid curing type supplied by are petroleum grade bitumen manufactured from the fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil blended with a solvent. Bitumen supplied by HJ Oil is produced from the vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration Grade bitumens are specified by the penetration and softening point test. The designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures of bitumen. The cutback bitumen (Asphalts) supplied by us are blended from petroleum grade bitumen as stated herein.
Cutback asphalt is an asphalt cement that has a solvent or distillate such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or naphtha added to make the asphalt liquid at ambient temperatures and improve its ability to coat aggregates. Two letters followed by a numerical digit designate or name a cutback asphalt.
Cutback asphalt can contain between 12 and 40 percent distillate. The high demand for the distillates to be used in energy applications and ever-increasing air quality regulations have caused a steady decline in the use of cutback asphalt.
When gasoline or naphtha is used to flux asphalt cement, the final product is called “rapid curing” (RC) cutback asphalt. Specifications permit up to 45 percent distillate in manufacturing an RC-250 cutback asphalt.
